Still can't believe your result. We need people like you to help keep the party in touch with the real world. We will just have to dust ourselves down and get ready for the next battle - and I think there will be somebig ones during the next few years of Labour rule!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1115583714375998682005-05-08T21:21:00.000+01:002005-05-08T21:21:00.000+01:00Iain,It was always going to be a tough one mate an...Iain,<BR/><BR/>It was always going to be a tough one mate and parliament needs some bright modern candidates like yourself.

I can't see the Tories getting back into government when passionate pro-common law and parliamentary sovereignity people like me are motivated to work and stand for UKIP. I don't see it as an issue about "Europe", but about the kind of democracy I want to live in on this island. No other issue comes close to that of my personal freedom - something I consider to be increasingly threatened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1115578690653630682005-05-08T19:58:00.000+01:002005-05-08T19:58:00.000+01:00I agree with the above.

Take a look at the electoral map now, their are plenty of Labour held ultra-marginal seats, so much so that if there is 1% swing to the Tories nationally at the next election, Mr. Brown's parliamentary majority goes up in smoke. There should be some safe seats up for new candidates at the next election also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-1115570695837631052005-05-08T17:44:00.000+01:002005-05-08T17:44:00.000+01:00Do not give up.

As for a new career, perhaps you could replace Boris at the Speccie or Portillo on 'This Week'. Anyway what is your view on the future of the party and the leadership issue?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
